Osprey, Thoughts and Post from Stockhouse: While I await a flare as much or more as anyone, until test time it is my understanding that a flare will not occur if our skilled drillers maintain perfect control - a thing we hope for. GH and S&P - is that correct. As for nerves - yeah, we all are anxious. Take comfort in knowing that this operation is being well run by an quality operating organization whose primary goal is a quality end result - not a short term price spike.
